Shawn Johnson and Andrew East aren't playing games when it comes to their special honeymoon.

Just a few short days after saying "I Do" in Tennessee, the couple didn't just revel in their new relationship status. They also celebrated the groom's new gig.

"Andrew was signed by the Oakland Raiders a week or two ago so the next day they had to go to camp," a source revealed to E! News exclusively.

But what about the romantic honeymoon? Relax, it's coming up when things are a little less busy.

"They are planning to go sometime soon when he can take a few days off," our insider continued. "They are planning to take a South Caribbean cruise."

Perhaps it's only fitting for the former Dancing With the Stars contestant who is the godmother to one of the Royal Caribbean cruise ships titled the Oasis of the Seas. Gloria Estefan, Jane Seymour, Michelle Kwan, Dara Torres, Keshia Knight Pulliam and Daisy Fuentes are also considered godmothers for a ship that serves as "a destination for bold explorers."

During the couple's evening wedding ceremony, the Olympic gold medalist wore a custom gown from Nashville-based stylist Olia Zavozina who described the look as "timeless, unique and different."

As for the event itself, planner Sara Fried described a very family-friendly event filled with love.

"Shawn and Andrew are both very close with their families," she noted. "It's important that both the ceremony and reception remain very intimate. Lots of candles, flowers and touches of gold will create a romantic setting."

Congratulations again to the happy couple.
